Here Comes the Bride...Now We Need a Guest Room

My niece is getting married!

Here's what this means to me: many relatives will be descending on me in about a month and hoping for a place to stay. We were firmly raised with the notion that a relative's house is much better than a hotel. Not sure I believe that anymore, but I do love having company, so I am happy to let family come and stay.

My guest room needs some help, though. As does the company bathroom, aka the kid's bathroom. Oh, and the downstairs bathroom. What to do, what to do.

Here's what we have right now:

What does this say to me? Storeroom.

The front bathroom is pretty featureless.
Unfortunately, it has two boys that use it regularly.
Please don't use your imagination here.

The downstairs bathroom is a little scary without walls.

I'm hoping to get some paint on the walls in the guest room, and at least a door on the downstairs bath. And everything needs to be deep cleaned. Seriously considering hiring a cleaning service to deep clean everything before family comes.

Because...did I mention that Doug and I are catering the wedding reception? It's a light buffet, but it is for 100-150 people. The first time we've done anything on this scale. So wish us luck. Food, people, party! And exhaustion, but that can come after the reception.
